New player here. A bit surprised to see this mission "procedurally" generated. Has anyone else seen this?

Once, I placed a base computer and the game randomly assigned it my own name.

So, I'm not surprised to see something like that come out of the random generator.

Not worth thinking into

why is "Israel" even in the vocabulary of the random name generator?

[-] altairabove@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

That's exactly what I was thinking. I did find a link to an existing star system online: "Israel Hands". Someone "discovered" it in 2018. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Israel_Hands I'm still figuring out their RNG, so I don't know if this is part of their vocab or part of the curated content.

from how I understand this Israel Hands has been renamed by players from the name "Gotosu-Ava".

Oh, that's interesting. So perhaps this is pulling text from human-named systems? I guess that's more understandable. Still something they could moderate better.

Iirc moderation is report driven. You can report named things as inappropriate via your discoveries tab. If no one reported it, I presumbe nobody would have reviewed it.

It's been suspected for a long time now that the proc gen for names somehow pulled things directly from the internet.

Doesn't it suck that we can't tell what is real? I mean the internet has always been full of BS... but still... I guess since I don't post often, I'm just not used to people (prudently) being skeptical of my reality.

Ooof they might wanna look at that

I mean, would they even notice if I sent an email? Seem like it's either a very rare artifact they wouldn't bother fixing, or they did it on purpose (and wouldn't bother fixing).

Just send an email. If you are worried about them not fixing it, then not sending an email is the worst action to take.
